"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man,
brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however,
the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a
patriot." - Mark Twain

Welcome to eric's patriot page, where Liberty isn't a word, but a
way of life.

NOTICE: To the Fox Network Legal
Department:

The X-Files Avi video clips and Wav audio files
presented on this page are used under the "fair use" doctrine of copyright
law. I recieve no compensation for them. They are all very small samples of
the full works. They are being used for the benefit of society and their
social commentary value. No affiliation between eric gray,
"freedombyfaith.com", or The Desert Reef BBS and The Fox Network, the X-Files
TV Show, or Chris Carter exists, or is implied. If you are looking for the
Official X-Files website, click here!

What the heck are X-Files avis doing here you ask? Well my friends, here on
national TV, are some of the most accurate and prophetic words you will hear.
I know these files are huge. Sorry. But if you don't watch the show, then you
don't have access to these. Sure, it's just a TV show. "Fiction" at that. Right. 15.1Meg. Here's a news article on the X-Files that discusses the very episode these clips are taken from! (archived copy here) But download the clips, too. They are worth it.

Part 2 of the above. You will have to unzip these to play them. And you'll
need an AVI player that supports Microsoft video compression. MS Media player works perfectly. (Just make sure you have all the video CODECs installed. (See Troubleshooting Video Codecs on the MSKB.) 9.4Meg.

Remember when they said they never had any guns in the helicopters during
the initial raid
of David Koresh's church in Waco Texas? Then they said, "Okay there were guns,
but not loaded." Which, when the laughter died down, they then said, "Okay,
they were loaded, but no one shot them." Well folks, here you go. This was
taken from a Video obtained via the Freedom of Information Act. This video was
"shot" from an ATF's personal camcorder. He thought it would be cool to take
it along on the raid. Now, I think it's pretty cool too. When you watch
and listen to the little AVI you'll have to train your ear a little
bit. Understand, this was taken w/a personal camcorder from the inside
of the chopper. I put a few seconds of "lead in" so you'll get a notion of the
noise "floor." Then as we get closer to the target, you'll hear some "brap,
brap, brap.." type noises. This is gunfire coming from the chopper. Anyone who
has ever been in the military in a helicopter firing knows this sound
instantly. On the tape is sounds different because of the way camcorders
record sound. Once you listen to it a few times, you'll hear it clearly. Now
order the tape from Brassroots. (In addition, in the movie Waco: The Rules of
Engagement, they played an FBI tape of negotiations between Koresh and an ATF
agent (Cavanaugh) where he admits they fired from the
helicopters!) Tell your friends what really happened. Anyone who voted for the
status quo this election should hang their heads in shame! The Waco Hearings
were supposed to be about the truth! They COVERED this up too! It was a
political grandstand for Schumer and his antigun croonies. This tape was one
that was available for viewing! They prohibited it from being shown. Now you
know why. (If you'd like more info on Brassroots, click here. The video is being
distributed for production and shipping costs. It has been GIVEN to dozens of
TV News stations. Not one, that we know of, has played it.) 2.8Meg

Remember when the "chairs" of the Waco Hearings said "We want to make it
perfectly clear, no FBI agents fired a single shot on the
last day of the raid." (The day of the fire.) Now maybe they like to play
w/words.... maybe it wasn't an "FBI" agent, and yes, there was not a "single"
shot, but someone is firing into the building the last day
of the raid. Here is a small packet of FLAIR video clips. Again, get the full
video from Brassroots, but here is MORE proof. They LIED. They continue to
LIE. 8.4Meg

[Just what is freedom?] From Robert Nozick, _Anarchy, State, and Utopia_, 290-292 (1974). What's the difference between a slave and a free person? See if you can tell. Thanks to a fellow patriot for bringing this to my attention!

[US v. Long] The complete
trial transcript for US v. Long, in which Lloyd Long was charged
with Willful Failure To File (Tax Returns, which btw, is not even
named in the statute). Mr. Long won his case! Despite being paid over $40K per
year for the two years in question. Why? How? READ this file! To God goes
the Glory.(204K for the zipped file, 1Meg for the uncompressed text
version, available here) Also, here
are several excellent pages regarding fighting for your rights against the
IRS:

Bill Conklin's had 6 wins against the IRS and has written a book (free online!) to help people w/IRS questions.

Truth Must Prevail,
over IRS Lies and Tyranny, by Fred Allnutt. Fred is a gifted writer and
another Christian who used the Lord to stand up to the illegal activities of
the IRS, and won! Read about the raid here, and for more of Fred's
articles, click here!

Larry Becraft's Home Page - When other attornys are chasing ambulances, cozing up to the
fed, or escourting (opps, I mean representing) patriots to the star chamber,
Mr. Becraft is waging almost a one man battle for YOUR RIGHTS!

"The wicked flee when no man
pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion" Proverbs 28:1. I
understand many people are afraid of the IRS. But those of you who are
Christians have the full Armour of God to use to protect yourself. Use it! To
the non-Christians: I wish you well. Fighting the IRS w/o God in your corner
is risky business. But you will be in my prayers non-the-less, and I hope you
gain much needed information from these pages.)

[Arizona v. Rogers] "An
investigatory
stop is permissible under the Fourth Amendment if supported by 'reasonable
suspicion' that criminal activity is afoot." So... when was the last time you
were pulled over for a criminal complaint? Click here to see how this case might be
used.

[Stealth Legislation] Claire
Wolfe's excellent essay on the 104th Congress and their insidious actions to
pass legislation by burying it in other legislation. Did you know there are
now 100 pages of "health care crimes" which can lead to the forfeiture of the
patients and/or the doctors assets? How about authorizing random road blocks
to search for guns? How about a national "employment ID card" that is required
to get a job? One which of course requires a Social Security Number. (...no one may buy nor sell without the mark of the Beast or the
number of his name....) ALL TRUE! Print this out, take it to your
congress critter, and ask, one question; "Why?" After you get no answer from
them, take it to your neighbors, co-workers, family and friends and ask them
the same question. (23K)

[Tragedy at Ruby Ridge] Which is
the complete Department of Justice internal report on the shooting at Ruby
Ridge, Idaho. This came
via european source, as the US DoJ refused to release it. (Although it is now
widely distributed in this country.) Three people died, several were injured
and no one has been held accountable on the side of the United States
Government, even though this report recommends such action. (388K)

[EEOC and the SSN] Here's the
case where a man was fired because he didn't have a Social Security Number,
and refused to get one. The EEOC took the case and the man was reinstated
w/back pay and fines were leveled against the employer. Taco Bell tried the
same thing, and after their lawyers got this file, they changed their policy.
There is no law that says you have to have a SSN, despite what you've been
told. And that's a really good thing because,... Revelations 13:16-17,
"He [Satan] also forced everyone, small and great, rich and
poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or his forehaed, so
that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the
beast or the number of his name." Folks, here's the plain truth;
If you carry around the SSN in your head or on a card in your hand, you are
carrying the mark of the beast.(91K)

More information on the SSN:

[FAQ on
SSN,] Do's, Don't, What if's..., Suggestions, etc. A GREAT source for
information to help you retain your freedom and privacy.

Learn to use the law when needed. Remember, your religious beliefs are part
of your "civil rights." Read
how the government views "civil rights cases." Now ask yourself, Has
anyone violated your religious beliefs under color of law? Are you a religious
objector to the SSN? Can you put it together?

The Supreme Court has stated, the citizen who keeps
their mouth shut, is better protected of his or her rights than one who openly
cooperates. Even the conservative American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the nations largest and oldest Professional
Accountants Organization, has changed it's official policy to "silence
is best when it comes to the IRS." (2K)

[IRS Seizure Manual] This is a faithful reproduction of the actual IRS
manual for seizing peoples property w/o due process. Bill of Right? What Bill of Rights?(7K)

[The Supreme
Courts 7 Rules:] You probably think the United States Supreme Court is
there to answer Constitutional questions don't you? Well not if they can help
it! In a concurring opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Ashwander v.
TVA, 297 US 288 (1936), Justice Brandeis laid out 7 "rules" one must follow to
qualify a constitutional question or statutory challenge for consideration by
the U.S. Supreme Court. Amazingly, on appeal, one can have the right issue and
solid facts, but if one asks the wrong question of the U.S. Supreme Court
one's appeal will get the proverbial axe! Realize also that one cannot ask the
U.S. Supreme Court a question that has not already been
asked of every appellate court visited along the way to the U.S. Supreme
Court.

[Our Kids] This is one of the
most persuasive collection of files I have. It's actually several files all packaged together. (You'll need an unzipper.) Don't let this stuff happen. Don't go away thinking I'm a nut. Read these files, and then sit for a few minutes alone, where you can think undisturbed. There is an orchestrated effort to trivialize
religion and rewriting our heritage. If you think 1984 is just a novel, read
this.(17K)

[The Declaration of Independence]
and the price they paid. Appended to the Declaration is a complete listing of
what happened to the 63 men who signed this most heroic document. I hope
people read this and rethink what they gave us, and what we've done with it.
If it doesn't bring a tear to your eye, check your pulse. (7K)

[WEP.Zip] and [Warpower.Zip] Two files from the
work of Dr. Eugene Schroder, a Colorado veterinarian who did the research into
the events of 1933 by FDR and what effect they still have today.

"But in the event that the Congress shall fail to
take one of these two courses, and in the event that the national emergency is
still critical, I shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then
confront me. I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet
the crisis--broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as
great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a
foreign foe." From his
First Inaugural Address

In a nutshell, FDR used the emergency powers of the presidential office to
change our country from a Republic to a Unconstitutional Dictatorship.
Congress rubber stamped his mandates. The Supreme Court struck them down as
repugnent to the Constitution. He tried to "pack the court" and was
unsuccessful. However, in the natural course of events, enough Justices died
or retired so that he could fill the court w/those who shared his goals of a
Socialist Federation. FDR was the single biggest traitor to this country. He
did far more damage then even Benedict Arnold. He sold America into slavery.
(20K and 8K respectively) What did FDR know about Pearl
Harbor before December 7th 1941? Want more dirt on FDR? try this.

[Turtle Raid] is the story of
a New Jersey Environment Agency Whistle-blower on the armed raid of a
families home, to "save the turtles." That's right, an armed raid to
confiscate a bunch of turtles. These reports were written by an insider at the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and he was suspended for
writing it. Can you count the number of Constitutional violations? Read this,
print it out, and the next time someone tells you it's about "saving the
environment" drop this in their laps. It's got nothing to do w/the environment
or saving endangered species. It's about freedom and control.

[A MAJOR
DECEPTION ON 'GLOBAL WARMING'] is a Wall Street Journal story that
appeared last year. It details the account of the UN Environmental lobby
changing the scientific conclusions of the agency
(their own) in charge of investigating the impact of humans on the
environment. To quote:

In my more than 60 years as a member of the scientific community,
including service as president of both the National Academy of Sciences
and the American Physical Society, I have never witnessed a more
disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that
lead to the IPCC report.

You be the judge of why they did it. But the man in charge quit because he was
so disguisted w/the events that took place. You've got to get envolved. Print
this out or go get a copy of the original story as it ran in the WSJ. Make
copies. Give them to your fence sitting friends and most important, your
"elected" officials. They will be voting based on this tainted report.
Billions of your tax dollars will be used to impliment plans to "save the
environment" based on this report. Billions of your dollars will go to
businesses who have to spend money to impliment the new rules of congress
based on this report. And most important: YOUR FREEDOMS will be
restricted, and out-right denied, by people using this report.

[On the Right to Rebel Against
Governors] - (Election Day Sermon, Boston, 1776, by Samuel West)
"To conclude: While we are fighting for liberty, and striving against
tyranny, let us remember to fight the good fight of faith, and earnestly seek
to be delivered from that bondage of corruption which we are brought into by
sin, and that we may be made partakers of the glorious liberty of the sons and
children of God: which may the Father of Mercies grant us all, throught Jesus
Christ. AMEN." Yes, it's a long sermon, but one that goes deep. If
you need a splash in the face of what Liberty is, this might be just what you
are looking for! (33K)

["God will hold you to account, Mr.
President."] are now the words that will get you accused of
threatening the president. That's right, telling the King he's got no clothes
on will get you accosted and detained by the Secret Service. (An agency that
at one time was considered the "cream of the crop" in law enforcement. Seems
now, they've fallen into the same pitiful pit the FBI, ATF, CIA, DEA, et al,
have fallen into.) I remind my fellow Americans of Jefferson's words (from his
1st Inaugural Speech) "If there be any among us who [disagree], let them stand
undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be
tolerated where reason is left free to combat it." I guess William JEFFERSON
Clinton doesn't believe in these words, does he? (1K)

However, the Rules
of Evidence Ought to be Expanded in Recognition of the Jury's Power to
Nullify

Except in extraordinary situations or where required by the Arizona
Constitution, juries should not be instructed on the subject of jury
nullification. However, relevancy rules should be amended or interpreted to
permit greater latitude in evidence in recognition of the jury's undoubted
power to nullify the law. For example, evidence of the defendant's intent and
motive ought to be received.

I don't understand. If the Arizona Supreme Court's committe recognizes "the
jury's undoubted power to nullify the law" then why are they not so instructed
except in "extraordinary situations or where required by the Arizona
Constitution?" Can you say "double speak?" Maybe you should tell your friends
and neighbors about this? Perhaps start asking more questions about it? Other
sites regarding the Lawful actions and Rights of Juries:

History of
Juries, going all the way back to the Magna Carta. I suggest you read it,
especially how Jury Nullification was changed in this country at the turn of
the century. I'll bet you take a second look at FIJA with this information
under your hat.

Trial by
Jury, by Lysander Spooner 1852. Considered one of the most revered
discussions on the rights of people. Also, ask you high school teacher how
come they never told you about this "Spooner guy."

Specifically Selected
Patriot Links

[Brassroots] and [
Brassroots Links page] The links page is so good I've just linked to it instead of creating another one. If you
are looking for other people/organizations that are concerned with preserving what is left
of the Bill of Rights, here's where you start.

[The
Citizens Rule Book] is probably responsible for more people waking up
to Liberty and Patriotism than anything published in the past 30 years. This
tiny little book does a wonderful job presenting the cause for Liberty. Well
now it's on the Web. I strongly recommend you check it out.

[WorldNetDaily] is a modern, newspaper style website that offers news from a different perspective. They are one of the handful of sites that have been reporting on the real issues of our times. I strongly recommend you check them out.

[Shelly
Waxman] is a Libertarian Lawyer. (Yes, they really do exist!) This
link is to Chapter 12 of his book, Memoirs of a Libertarian Lawyer, and tells
the story of how the Federal Government, using whatever agency it needed,
seperated him from his Client, a well publicized "tax protestor." If this does
not convince you of the depth of the conspiracy to defraud the American
public, well then, I'll just say it... You are stupid.

[IRS Abuse
Reports] is fifty (50) pages of people's horror stories w/the IRS. Be
sure to check out The
Oath (aka USA v. Ward) for some very enlightening news for those
donning of the Armor of God.

[Peacefire] - While other teenagers are plunking quarters into video games, this kid is trying to save your 1st Amendment rights! In a word, "Who is watching the watchers?" You might not agree w/all his beliefs, but the principle is the issue here.

Previous
Issues of the Quote of the month:.

"It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the
bastards."

Loren C. Troescher appeals an order of the district court
compelling him to appear before the Internal Revenue Service to answer
questions and produce documents.*fn1 The IRS issued the summons after
Troescher apparently failed to file income tax returns for several
years. Troescher argues that the district court erred in rejecting his
assertion of the Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination.
We agree, and therefore vacate the order and remand to the district
court for reconsideration in light of this opinion.

Accordingly, because we conclude -- in light of the law of this
circuit, and in light of the government's confession of error on appeal
-- that there is no "Tax-Crime Exception" to the Fifth Amendment, we
vacate the order of the district court and remand for further
proceedings so that it may dispose of the matter before it in accordance
with the law that governs the invocation of the Fifth Amendment.

not so well known, quotes regarding our country and Liberty in general.

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred
years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to
spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to
liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from
selfishness to complacency; from complaceny to apathy; from apathy to
dependence; from dependency back again into bondage.
